Also some good news: I took a look at the Pixel 2 Launcher sources and it's not encrypted like the Google Camera. Therefore it will luckily be possible to decompile it to Java and add it to Launcher3 again, like with the Nougat and Oreo DP versions. In the meantime there's a smali-edited APK going around from XDA which apparently works fine, though I wouldn't try developing on an existing APK myself because of how hard it is to fix bugs with smali editing.

How to compile Phonograph Pro for dummies

Phonograph Pro 16.1
From https://github.com/kabouzeid/Phonograph/commit/465f1fe2db4e2a2ae464948766ac8b71b8d700d9

For those wondering if I'm completely dead, I gave porting the Pixel 2 Launcher an attempt a while ago and I just pushed the WIP because I don't think I will finish it anytime soon:
https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/commit/2996ef58f8d8e3f149831a3d8933f5060f2f8ec7. You can see for yourself how much work it costs to backport it all, and it can be prevented by waiting for Google to release these sources.

So, I am going to wait until the official 8.1 sources release, and see if Google releases most of the new improvements in Launcher3. Then I will base on that instead of doing this maddening job of backporting all the obfuscated code to 8.0.

So, Android 8.1 Launcher3 sources are out..

Here's a clean Launcher3 8.1 build with only a package name change to the Pixel Launcher

No Pixel Launcher features (yet), this is clean AOSP

Here's one with a few of my tweaks from the previous one. No Pixel features yet

Net neutrality repeal. Let me get this straight.

- Without any elections, corrupt people get put in charge of the FCC that controls the internet in the US
- Those people get paid billions by ISPs like Comcast, to make a bill giving the ISPs unconditional power
- The entire US population is against this and starts spamming the phone lines, mails and website en masse
- FCC deletes all the comments from the website, and commits identity theft (stealing names and addresses) to make fake comments in favour of the plan
- Two of the leaders that get to vote publically call all of this out, destroy all arguments the corrupt leaders make and perfectly illustrate how incredibly FUCKED UP the corrupt situation is, all on live stream
- The three other voters, including Ajit Pai, just sell their bullcrap story with a smile on their faces showing "I'm getting paid $50 million by Comcast tonight hehehe get rekt"
- And.. the bill passes

Am I the only one seeing how ridiculous this is? Where are the revolts, the protests? These "government institute" guys sold out to Comcast and your internet might never be the same, with corruption similar to third world countries. This should be massive news, and even though I'm safe and sound in the EU I'm still astonished, angry and simply sad that this is possible. I wished there was more I could do than bring attention to this issue. Please forward this if you share my sentiment.
